Tired of your coastal home design? Pare down your decor and vary textures and finishes to update to a appearance. Color plays an integral part go bold with splashes of turquoises along with corals throughout spaces. Think of your room as an art gallery; put and select objects for maximum effect. This appearance doesn’t scream coastal. On the contrary, it’s very subtle — you may have just 1 painting or piece of furniture that defines the appearance, but it will be sufficient to give your space a coastal feel.
